Compensation for Harley Street food poisoning

Harley Street in London is where some of the UK’s most exclusive private hospitals and clinics are located. It’s a prestigious address, that much is certain, but just how high are the standards of care these private hospitals offer? Many people prefer to be treated in a private hospital, as they believe that the care they receive will be of a higher standard than in an NHS-funded hospital; this is usually true, as there are fewer patients and a higher ratio of staff members to patients than in busier hospitals. However, mistakes have the potential to happen at any hospital, and if you’ve been affected by Harley street food poisoning whilst spending time in one of these hospitals then you may be left suffering.

Food poisoning isn’t always serious – for many people, a bout of food poisoning is unpleasant and is over in just a few days. Of course you have the nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps to suffer in the meantime, but the majority of us will get better without the need for medical treatment. However, if you’re elderly or already ill and in hospital, your body could be weaker as you recover from another illness, and food poisoning could have serious consequences.
